PINOT GRIS 2023

Catalina Sounds

CATALINA SOUNDS

PINOT GRIS 2023

An endearing and layered wine, with diverse aromatics of nougat, nashi pear, vanilla custard and white flowers. The palate is generous, where ripe fruit and texture create richness, yet balance with very fine minerality and a touch of residual sugar to bring the wine to a memorable finish.

The first portion of juice is taken to tank and barrels (5%) for a high solids fermentation. This creates texture and palate weight. The balance of juice is gently clarified and fermented in stainless steel (95%) at a low temp for fruit purity and vibrancy.

Vintage

The 2023 vintage was late to start due to a wetter season early on. Fine weather from January onwards meant extra hangtime on the vine, which provided increased flavour concentration, exceptional varietal purity and laid the groundwork for some brilliant wines. The Pinot Gris from Sound of White was picked in two halves; an earlier parcel on the 31st of March and the balance on the 9th of April. These parcels make 60% of the blend, where the other 40% is from an exclusive grower in the Omaka Valley, meaning it’s all from the Southern Valleys – beautiful clay loam soils, that added another element to the wines.
